No, there is actually no object in that sentence. The phrases "to Tennessee" and "in October" are adverbial clauses. They describe the verb "go," telling us WHERE and WHEN you will go. Adverbial clauses are phrases (more than one word) that describe how/when/where/why the action happened. This sentence has an object: I ate an apple. The object is "apple." However, this sentence does not have an object: I ate with my parents. "With my parents" is an adverbial clause that describes HOW I ate.

I would say, "I'm articulate in both English and Chinese," or, "I'm fluent in both English and Chinese."

With "and," as in your example, it would typically be plural (semesters) because you are talking about more than one. With "or" it would be singular. Example: Students must complete the internship program in the 2nd or 4th semester. (Only 1) Final exams will be conducted in the 2nd and 4th semesters. (More than 1)

I would say either: The checkpoint at building #1 will be removed on July 1st. or... The checkpoint at building #1 will stop operating on July 1st.

It means they don't like one characteristic or aspect of your personality.

They have the same meaning. There is a slight difference. The first sentence uses the future tense (going to), whereas the second sentence is saying there is a plan to leave. We often use present continuous to describe a plan. For example, "I'm coming home next weekend." This says there is a plan to go home in the near future. It's very similar to "I'm gonna come home next weekend."

The word is charade. I'm not sure why it's written like that, maybe to show that it was spoken with a pause by the character. A charade is a situation when people act pleasant to pretend there's no problem. So the character is basically saying, "Stop pretending there's no problem."

Domi's explanation is correct. He feels intimidated or insecure because of his brother's abilities. His ego feels threatened. This is a common feeling for people who are emotionally immature. I know I've felt threatened by the abilities of my older sibling. When I was younger, I was afraid of never being good enough because she was such a high achiever in school. Of course, I was a fine student and the only person who thought I wasn't good enough was me! Hope that helps to explain it.
